He is definitely a prime example of how to be a pro, whether it's on the field, off the field, whatever. You can't have a better model for a young guy coming in on how to behave yourself and how to carry yourself. He's definitely done all the right things throughout his career.
trying body addresses
If something's wrong with my body, I make sure to address it right away and not try to let it linger because it creates a bigger problem. You just have to understand your body, and when your body tells you something you just have to react.
blessed player thinking
I've been blessed with some luck, great ability and athleticism. That's really what's made me a great player, but I think the reason I've been able to last this long is the little things like taking care of my body.
football hurt growing-up
The street is where we all learn. I played organized football growing up as well, but when that was over, I went right to the street. I remember twisting my ankles, breaking my thumb, I hurt everything when I was little playing street ball.

team fighting guy
I'm always fighting to make the team anyway. I'm always preparing like I'm one of the bottom guys, trying to make the team.
responsibility player thinking
I think as a veteran player, in general, you should feel that sense of responsibility to try to lead these guys to becoming good pros. You want the league to be in good hands, and you want these guys to become great NFL players and then pass it along to the next generation. You can only lead by example, and that's pretty much what I'm trying to do.
